Subject: More Piloting Missions in Halo Please!

I always loved flying aerial vehicles in all Halo games starting with the banshee. I always found it fun to bomb targets on the ground and shoot other banshees out of the sky.

Vehicles like the Hornet and Falcon were not as interesting to me as they had no weapons in multiplayer, but what I did think was cool was that you could have passengers on them for added strategy.

On the Long Night of Solace mission, I thought it was cool how we got to fly in a Sabre and shoot Covies out of Banshees, Seraphs and Phantoms. Unfortunately this mission was not as fun as it could have been with the absence of real Covenant firepower. Especially when I had unlimited ammunition in my machine gun and unlimited missiles, I constantly found myself spamming the missiles against the Covenant.

If there are more missions involving us being pilots, I would suggest:

> More vehicles! Like being able to fly the Seraph, and the Longsword. The Longsword could be used in some sort of bombing raid mission.

> Vulture. Enough said.

> Make the enemy more formidable. Homing torpedoes, and large vessels that try to shoot you out of the sky.

> Limited ammunition. So people don't spam things and it actually makes the level more challenging. (Unlimited ammo on Easy?)

This thread goes out to those who enjoy piloting in Halo. I know I could easily go play a gamelike Ace Combat, but how fun would it be to be able to do it in the Halo Universe?

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

Flying sure can be fun. But, seeing how Bungie isn't working on Halo anymore, perhaps you should direct this recommendation to 343.

Now if you want Bungie to make more flying missions in their upcoming games, you should change the subject title to be a tad more accurate.

Hornet had no weapons in multiplayer

What? The whole reason they made another iteration of the Hornet for use in Legendary/Mythic map packs was because the guns were too powerful and the missiles broke the game.

Especially when I had unlimited ammunition in my machine gun and unlimited missiles, I constantly found myself spamming the missiles against the Covenant.

Use your 50mm cannons. It's a load more bad[REDACTED].

Anyway, aside from the points above, I agree with you, Halo needs more air/space combat missions.

PS, easter egg in LNoS, you CAN fly a Seraph. You just have to be good with the conkerifle.
